HELP US BRING CLEAN WATER TO A COMMUNITY IN KENYA. SHALLOW WELLS ARE CONTAMINATED WITH SURFACE WATER AND SEWAGE. WE WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE FUNDING TO A COMMUNITY KENYA TO DRILL AND CONSTRUCT A DEEP BORE WELL TO ACCESS CLEAN DRINKING WATER. OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $100,000 USD.

A deep bore well project is quite involved and costly. The initial costs for drilling alone is anywhere from $12,000 to $20,000 USD - depending on many factors. Then there is the cost of construction, pumping system, electricity, water tanks etc. Currently our estimates are $40,000 - $60,000 USD to complete this project.

Our Goal is to raise $100,000 USD in order to cover any unforeseen expenses and to create a maintenance budget to support the well for long term use. Your prayers and financial help will be greatly appreciated.

WATER TANKS

OUR WATER PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES ASSISTING COMMUNITIES TO INSTALL WATER TANKS TO CATCH RAIN WATER. THIS INCLUDES GUTTERS AND PIPES (to drain water from rooftops into the tanks) AND CONCRETE SLABS (foundations for the tanks to rest on - see photo above).

OUR TARGET AREAS ARE WHERE THE NEED IS GREATEST - SUCH AS SCHOOLS FOR CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY. IN ADDITION TO THIS WE WOULD LIKE TO ALSO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR OTHER WATER NEEDS SUCH AS FILTRATION, WATER PURIFICATION AND MAINTENANCE.

CLEAN FILTERED WATER IN A KENYAN SCHOOL

THE WATER IN THE TANK IN THE PICTURE ABOVE IS RAIN WATER THAT HAD BEEN COLLECTED THEN PURIFIED USING CHLORINE TABLETS, MAKING IT SAFER FOR CONSUMPTION.

BUT THIS WATER IS DEPENDENT ON RAIN FALL. DURING DROUGHT SEASONS WATER IS MORE SCARCE. A DEEP BORE WELL WILL PROVIDE WATER EVEN DURING DROUGHT SEASONS. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY.
